Tom Ball, Sun Microsystems公司的技术主管说如何写出更好的代码.
Ball:我能给出最好的建议就是——并且是我总是遵守的——只要可能就去写单调(boring)的代码. 这样的代码会是如此清晰明了(obvious)以至于它无需注释并且其他充满智慧的开发者会将其忽略并跳过. 写下这样的代码, 它只做一件事但是可以把这件事情做的非常漂亮, 基于此你可以写下它然后忘记它, 它会在后台安静地工作.
举例来说, NetBeans IDE的classfile模块做一件事情, 读取JVM类文件然后把它们变成基于JVM规范的类. 你无法修改这些类中的任何一个——因为它们是不可变的(immutable). 它不支持类文件的编辑和创建, 任何熟悉JVM规范的人也不会对它感兴趣.
因为这个模块是"单调的(boring)", 没有人会想要修改(hack)它——它只在JVM规范改变的时候被更新——因此它会在几年内非常稳定. 由于非常简单, 所以它非常快, 几乎不占用内存, 并且由于它是不可变的(immutable)所以它也是线程安全的(threadsafe). 可能最重要的是, 因为它是稳定且单调的(boring), 我才可以做其他的项目而不是成天来维护或增强它.
